    open hammer.
    add a point light.
    view it's properties.
    select the brightness property.
    click the "pick color" button.
    choose your colour/shade.
    Now the brightness property contains R(ed) G(reen) B(lue) I(ntensity) values.

    The intesnity setting is found by trial an error.

    try
    5000 if it should be a light filling a whole room.
    500 if its a single lightbulb.
    -1000 if you want a black hole.
    then render.
    If its too bright try smaller numbers.

    and keep in mind that the intensity of texture lights is = "size of the textured surface" * "intensity factor in the file".

    And i also have a problem when i build a pipe and carve in it it always changes shape when i save it, is it because i dont use enough sides or does that has to be low ?

    carving sucks.
    Make each piece yourself.

    if you have:
    lighttexture 255 255 255 1000
    and you use it on 2 objects of different size, the bigger object emmits more light. The light makes a room of the same size brighter and the light goes farer away (more reflection).
    (its just not a light dot with brightness)

    I guess 1 more question :-)

    The lights.rad does that has to stay in the valve hammer/tools directory ? and for the names of the textures in the script are they the same like in valve hammer ?

    lights rad needs to be where your compile tools are and yes the texture names are the same in valve hammer and for lights.rad, why would they be different? you sound like you could use some more tutorials before seriously starting an ns map. no offense its just that i have taken up making a very short time ago and know that the beginning is very frustrating. check the stickys for more mappinginfo.
